A Level Drama and Theatre Teacher Guide Qualification Accredited A LEVEL Teacher Guide DRAMA AND THEATRE H459 For first teaching in 2016 The Visit – Friedrich Dürrenmatt Version 1 www.ocr.org.uk/drama A Level Drama and Theatre Teacher Guide The Visit by Friedrick Dürrenmatt The Visit by Friedrich Dürrenmatt is set in the impoverished town of Guellen. (Guellen means liquid manure.) Summary The opening scene is set on the town’s railway station as the occupants of the town are eagerly awaiting the arrival of Claire Zachanassion, a world famous millionairess. They bemoan their sad state of affairs as Guellen, once a well renowned place, is bankrupt and desperate. We learn that Claire Zachanassion actually grew up in Guellen and the Mayor says that Claire is now their only hope. Alfred III, a popular resident, was her childhood sweetheart and there is high expectation that Ill will get Claire to “cough up her millions.” Alfred Ill is expected to be the Mayor’s successor. Claire makes a visually impressive entrance, accompanied by her entourage, including her seventh husband. She immediately makes a disparaging remark, calling Guellen a “wretched dump”. She proceeds to hand three thousand to the ticket inspector amidst murmuring approval from everyone. A seemingly embarrassed Ill presents himself to Claire, and they exchange pleasantries until Claire suddenly insults him saying, “You’ve grown fat. And grey. And drink-sodden.” She then reveals that she herself has an artificial leg and introduces Ill to her seventh husband. She proceeds to announce her desire to visit her old trysting haunts with Ill whilst her luggage and a coffin are unloaded from the train to be taken to the Golden Apostle Inn where she will reside during her stay. The scene changes to the interior of the Golden Apostle, a threadbare and dusty environment. The Schoolmaster and the Mayor share their thoughts on Claire’s visit and the Schoolmaster expresses his horror at seeing Claire disembarking from the train, saying that she reminds him of an avenging Greek goddess. The policeman joins them and they drink a toast to Ill and the potential success of his mission. 2 Copyright © OCR 2015 A Level Drama and Theatre Teacher Guide The woodland scene in Konrad’s Village wood follows accusing them all of asking for more expensive tobacco with the scene being set by four citizens of Guellen and milk, demanding, “How are you going to pay?” representing the trees.

Claire has now married her eighth husband in Guellen Cathedral and has retired to Petersens’ Barn.

  • Visitor Pressure and Events in an Urban Setting
    Visitor Pressure and Events in an Urban Setting City Report - Tallinn, Estonia 2018 City Report -Tallinn, Estonia 2018 Centre of Expertise Leisure, Tourism & Hospitality Executive summary In the past years, the topic of visitor pressure and over-tourism in city destinations has reached worldwide media coverage. Although, it is very difficult to ascertain how and when visitor pressure becomes too high, preventing it should be a priority to city governments. Support of local residents is a prerequisite for sustainable tourism development. This report provides an overview of the current situation concerning visitor pressure in the city of Tallinn, as well as possible solutions and actions to be taken. The visitation of Tallinn increases year by year thus all the interviewed experts agreed that the problem of visitor pressure will not reduce but will increase in the near future. The number of visitors from international markets is continuously growing as well as the volume of cruise tourism. Restoration works in the Old Town and its surroundings are in progress allowing the visitors and the residents to use the town in various ways. Traffic regulations are ongoing however; the works will probably last for a couple of years before it is completed. Development and revitalization of neighbourhoods outside of the touristic hot spots are also in progress just like the development of the coastal area. Initiatives have been taken with regards to maximizing the economic benefits of tourism in connection to heritage protection, although such system is not in place yet. Communicating the financial and economic benefits of tourism towards the residents Colophon and creating wider awareness is also lacking.

The olitP ics of Painting: Velázquez and Diplomacy in the Court of Philip IV Abstract The influence of Diego Velázquez on the history of art cannot be overstated, but studies to date have not taken note of his impact on Spanish politics during the mid-seventeenth century. In short, Velázquez was as much a politician as an artist, his position in the Spanish court required both responsibilities. In the years 1659-1660 the painter played an especially remarkable role in the affairs of state when he was called upon to make court preparations for the Paz de los Pirineos, a peace accord ending nearly thirty years of war between the two reigning European superpowers, France and Spain.

However, SE can be considered to be a relatively “young” national statistical institute in that most of its modern development only dates from the foundation of the new state in the early 1990’s. It is a relatively small office with just 350 full-time equivalents employed. However, the workforce is highly skilled with over 55% holding a Master’s degree or higher and a further 20% have a Bachelor’s degree.
